It is important to have good security locks on the access points in the home, particularly front and back doors and garden gates. Low-quality and poorly secure locks can make the lives of thieves far easier than they should be.
Nipun Agrawal, Director at Hiatt Hardware, advises: “Door locks like nightlatch locks and mortice deadlocks are two traditional styles that offer great protection for your external doors. Making sure that door locks are properly installed is also important, although you can do it yourself, hiring an expert is always the safest option."
